Chapter 3:1-21
1There was a man of the
Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.* 2The
same came to Jesus by night and said unto Him,
"Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from
God; for no man can do these miracles that thou doest,
unless God be with him." 3Jesus
answered and said unto him,
"Verily, verily I say unto thee,
unless a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom
of God."
4Nicodemus said unto Him,
"How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter
a second time into his mother's womb and be born?" 5Jesus
answered,
"Verily, verily I say unto thee,
unless a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he
cannot enter into the Kingdom of God. 6That
which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which
is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7Marvel
not that I said unto thee, `Ye must be born again.' 8The
wind bloweth where it will, and thou hearest the
sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh
and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of
the Spirit."
9Nicodemus answered and
said unto Him, "How can these things be?" 10Jesus
answered and said unto him,
"Art thou a master of Israel, and
knowest not these things? 11Verily,
verily I say unto thee, we speak what we know and
testify what we have seen; and ye receive not our
witness. 12If
I have told you earthly things and ye believe not,
how shall ye believe if I tell you of heavenly
things? 13And
no man hath ascended up to Heaven, but He that came
down from Heaven, even the Son of Man who is in
Heaven.* 14And
as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness,
even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15that
whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but
have eternal life.
16"For
God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten
Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not
perish, but have everlasting life.* 17For
God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the
world, but that the world through Him might be
saved.*
18"He
that believeth in Him is not condemned; but He that
believeth not is condemned already, because he hath
not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of
God. 19And
this is the condemnation: that Light is come into the
world, and men loved darkness rather than light,
because their deeds were evil.* 20For
every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither
cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be
reproved. 21But
he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his
deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in
God."
